    Ubuntu already ruined the UI and are going to be systemd-tards, so who cares what happens to them? Most of us have already moved on

    No, systemd works poorly and is badly designed. I have some qualifications to say so, I admin hundreds of servers and have 30 years experience with various OS from mainframe and VMS onward.

    Sure, progress can change the game in a decades, but in the here and now it is ridiculous to speak of the tools of these hobbyists making yoda heads as possessing the means to increase firearm crime.

    Word "maser" hasn't dropped out of existence, they are still around in precision time keeping applications and in medicine.

    is that really good, that we're dependent on others to have a supply chain for food, instead of having means of each producing our own? That's a less robust situation for civilization, best to rectify that problem before we become even more unstable.

    No contempt at all by Tyson, just using a little cleverness to teach. Some people like to carry a chip on their shoulder and are glad to have opportunity to manufacture a reason to be offended, especially certain major religious groups

    Oh, what other european from central or southern Europe discovered the Americas before Columbus? What record did the norse people who discovered the americas leave in their land of origin (ditto question for the waves of asians who came before that).

    Remember, "discover" in the context of exploration does not mean first human ever to find a land. It means finding something unknown to a person or group, that's all. Columbus discovered the Americas for the civilization that sent him.

    Tyson's life work is education, when he explains something to the masses and someone learns something, he wins. You, on the other hand, want him and others to be losers. This says a lot about you.

    Such an imaginary construct does indeed fit the definition of psychosis by DSM, and in other cultures "near death experiences" can take vastly different forms. Hence, your links are to worthless imaginings. It is past time for society to admit religion is an irrational, often dangerous delusion that has done far more harm to people than good. It enables war, abuse, theft, and mental illness and is despicable remnant of the worst of human's history.

    No "bad guy" is going to waste time and money printing an expensive but soft dangerous gun that can fracture. those hobbyists that make guns use time-honored techniques and you can legally mail order a pistol barrel for $100 - 150

    Very inexpensive guns are plentiful and robust enough for firing dozens of rounds without of failure. the bad guys will use those if on a budget
